The Way to a Happy New Year
To leave the old with a burst of song;
To recall the right and forgive the wrong;
To have the strength to let go your hold
Of the not worth while of the days grown old;
To dare to go forth with a purpose true,
To the unknown task of the year that's new;
To add your gift to the world's good cheer,
Is to have and to give a Happy New Year.
